How about instead of punishing "the poor" with new taxes we just made healthy food cheaper.

How about actually giving people the time to actually prepare a healthy meal.

No one wants to spend 30mins to an hour cooking a good meal when they only get 4 hours of time to themselves a day. Reduce everyone's working hours and make them actually want to live a healthy life rather than treating them like consumables to be used up by businesses and replaced with their offspring.

This is exactly the kind of thing is expect from someone so far removed from the day to day reality of normal people.

Can people please stop asking Tony Blair for his opinions?

It's me or this is stupid and paternalist? What are "the poors" gonna eat then?

How about instead of taxing junk food we just start eating the rich.

Better also reduce the cost of healthier food, ya knobhead.

Tony Blair says junk food should be made too expensive for the poor to afford through new sugar and salt taxes to tackle obesity

You're on an island surrounded by salt water, Tony. If people want salt, they're gonna get salt.

Who knew Tony Blair and Jamie Oliver had so much in common. Maybe Jamie Oliver is a secret war criminal.

Just another way to rob workers of more time and money and treat them like the serfs the leech class sees them as.

How about we take these fuckers champagne and shove it up where the sun don't shine?! Seriously how dare they think of more ways to starve people?! Surely if he gives a damn then he should tackle the fact people are struggling to eat and live rather than worry about some so called obesity crisis?!

Tony Blair: Well if they have no bread, let them eat cake.

If you want the slightly less sensational version here's the original reporting on what he said: https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/blair-calls-for-tax-on-junk-food-times-health-commission-2gd7hhh69

Sounds like someone needs a reminder to have his fucking cake cake and shit the fuck up up while eating it too or else it's going to be shoved up his ass.

Rich fuck.

I think this would be more effective than a lot of us lefties would like to admit. "Healthy" food is already affordable, people just don't want to eat it when there are other options.
